my garden

Juergen put up a new rain gutter for me. I have 2 new rain barrels too. So now I can catch more free water for my plants. Water is expensive and we have had some pretty hot days. Here are some photos of my garden. It's doing super great! I have spaghetti squash that wants to take over the whole yard. The cucumbers are also doing wonderful! I ate my first ripe tomato, but most of them are still green. I'm very impressed by my jumbo garden sacks. I'm hoping to put 3 or 4 more in next year. Everything does great in these things.

As far as Thailand is concerned, I just don't know what to do. It's allot of money, but it's also a pretty good investment in family. We can get by with out it...but perhaps we would be much strengthened by it? I just don't know! I feel like I should wait. Maybe God will say yes, go. Or I'll just see what else we should do. As much as I would love to do it, I feel the answer is wait. I have not heard no, but I don't get yes either. It's only 3 weeks away, so it's probably a no. Sad! I just can not do it with out a clear yes.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
